got an unexpected keyword argument 'ssl_context'

Please note that: ssl_context = pythonssllib.create_default_context() is new in python version 2.7.9.

after installing 2.7.11, i get this error:

>>> imbox = Imbox('imap.gmail.com', username='...@gmail.com', password='...')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/naruto/Programming/imap_test/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imbox/__init__.py", line 15, in __init__
    ssl_context=None)
  File "/home/naruto/Programming/imap_test/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imbox/imap.py", line 28, in __init__
    self.server = self.transport(self.hostname, self.port, **kwargs)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ssl_context'

looks like ssl_context argument is not supported in 2.7

Python 2.7 does not allow specifying ssl_context, thus no certificates can be validated. I want to encourage you to not disable this and use Python 3 only. I consider Python 2.7 a security risk.
